00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:20,720
Stories from Super Touring 
Hello, I'm Lauren, you know, and

2
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,160
you're listening to Super 
Touring stories. 

3
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,320
Thanks, Lauren. 
And as Lauren, our new host, 

4
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,240
says, you're listening to 
stories from Super Touring. 

5
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,600
Now with Series 5 starting next 
week, we are very excited to 

6
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,680
tell you that Laurent will 
actually be our very first guest

7
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,920
of Series 5. 
So make sure you tune into next 

8
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,120
Monday's episode to hear all 
about Laurent's title winning 

9
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,360
BTCC season in 1999 in his 
Nissan premiere. 

10
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,680
Now, as a teaser, here's a sneak
peek from Laurent talking about 

11
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,280
that slightly controversial 
incident with Jason Plato at 

12
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Knock Hill in 1999. 
Not at all. 

13
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,440
But look, here's the battle 
that's going on for a second 

14
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,760
place. 
Hello, Jason. 

15
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,880
You know who is behind you? 
Big surprises. 

16
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,080
Laurel. 
Laurel. 

17
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,160
Ayalo is pushing him very hard. 
Very, very hard indeed. 

18
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,960
He shoved him off. 
Jason Plato has been lent on and

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,760
pushed off into the gravel by 
Ayalo. 

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,240
It's been pushed off by Ayalo in
the gravel. 

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,720
Whereabouts. 
Entry to McIntyre. 

22
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,760
Now hang on, as long as I can 
stop, I'm running over there. 

23
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,160
I hate to say it, but it had to 
happen. 

24
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,640
It was definitely going to 
happen. 

25
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,800
It was like a volcano waiting to
explode, and a little Frenchman 

26
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,400
did his bit as he came into 
Duffers. 

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,320
Jason, Jason was not fair. 
You know, he was break testing, 

28
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,320
he was slowing down the pack, 
you know, and I think I spent, 

29
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,960
you know, about 20 or more than 
20 laps behind, you know, in 

30
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,240
that one stage, you know, when 
we came to the to the, the 

31
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:00,560
breaking for me, I didn't want 
to push him, you know, at that 

32
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,400
point. 
But for me, he really is, you 

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,560
know, the throttle. 
And then I was also surprised to

34
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:10,400
to bang him, you know, and then 
into the corner again, he took 

35
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,640
the curb on the inside. 
And because he knew that he was 

36
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:17,520
not going to be quick enough for
the rest of the corner, he 

37
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,360
slowed down a lot again. 
And then I said, OK, now it's 

38
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,480
over. 
It's too much for me, you know, 

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,160
and I pushed him out because he.
Deserved it. 

40
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,800
Yeah, he deserved it. 
He was not racing. 

41
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,400
He was not racing. 
It was not fair from him, you 

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,280
know. 
But The thing is, if you see, if

43
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,400
you look during this year, I was
not, I'm not going to talk about

44
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:44,000
the other championship, but 
during this championship, every 

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,200
single race he had contacts or 
problem with with James, you're 

46
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,960
in. 
Yes, yeah, yes. 

47
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,400
I was it in Alton Park. 
Alton Park, yeah. 

48
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,480
Alton Park. 
Yeah. 

49
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,680
And again, and just also for me,
was the right to do it in this 

50
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,680
way, you know, because enough is
enough. 

51
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,200
You know, normally I don't do 
this sort of things because, 

52
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,880
again, you know, sometimes you 
can. 

53
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,600
Because yeah, this was too much 
for me. 

55
00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:23,840
Meanwhile, we've got another 
announcement here for you.
